Publisher's Summary

When a body is discovered at a popular Highland landmark, it seems like just another day on the job for DCI Jack Logan and his team. 

Except this body is missing a very vital component, and given its location - The Well of Seven Heads - it seems like someone is trying to send a message. But why? And to whom? 

With pressure mounting from his superiors, 600 teenagers baying for blood, and the press sniffing around for a scandal, the only chance Jack has of cracking his latest case is if he finds a way to keep the heid, while all around are losing theirs. 

Ahead of the Game is the 10th book from best-selling Scottish crime author, JD Kirk, and is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart Macbride, and Val McDermid.

Ahead of the Game is Fantastic!

I've been listening to the DCI Logan series since it first came out and have loved every minute. JD Kirk is brilliant and Angus King is amazing! Although the series is a Crime Thriller, I have laughed my way through all of the character development and interactions with the team. This book; however, I almost cried. It was close, but Bob had me laughing again. Thank you and keep up the great work, please.

Well worth reading

One of the best, I laughed so hard in parts, tears came. Unfortunately I was driving at the time. Good book

Funny, good characters, suspense, great narrator

Great narration as usual. Goofy "police procedural" sort of, almost Keystone Cops. I often don't like books that are supposed to be funny because humor is too personal, and too often I don't find them to be the least bit funny. But I find this series to be funny, but with enough suspense and beloved characters to get involved. The humor is often quite crude, so heads up if you are easily offended.

Just a great series

I highly recommend this whole series and I waiting impatiently for the next one.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll feel.
The narrator is excellent.

Love where this series is headed!!

While this is a primary crime story, it is the back stories and characters that make these stories so enjoyable. The evolution of the characters and their relationships is so fun and I can not wait to hear where it all goes. Angus King is brilliant and JD Kirk's humor keeps me in stitches!!

Never a disappointment!

Once again JD Kirk has done it! This book had me twisting and turning to the very end. I cannot wait until the next book. Also, Angus King is a phenomenal narrator!!

The best yet !

Prior to "Ahead of the Game" I liked "The Last Bloody Straw" most of all.
Both these books have good plots and excellent final twists; and both have sections that made me laugh so hard I nearly choked myself ! :)
Barry is really on a roll: "Ahead of the Game' keeps you saying "Oh, THAT's who did it !" every few chapters. And I do like his talent for little scenes you find out at the end weren't about who you thought they were - really clever.
I don't remember why I chose "A Litter of Bones" to buy: but I can say without a word of exaggeration that Jack Logan, as told to me by the incomparable Angus King, is my favourite character. Also, I like the rest of the team - even Bob Hoon !!! [grin]

Never disappoints.

Read all. In order! Perfect story, perfect narration and lots of comical moments mixed in with the procedural. A fantastic read! (Listen)

Best! Series! EVER!!

Angus King absofrickenlutely makes this entire series, that is already great, top the bloody charts! I laugh out loud at his interpretations of already very well developed characters. God I miss Scotland... bravo to this author/narrator combo. My favorite, which says a lot because I read a new audiobook every other day. Crying that I have to wait for the next in this series

Amazing

Another great book by JD KIRK absolutely loved it just as much as the previous ones.

Another “Page Turner”

Really been enjoying this series by JD Kirk. So glad to see the Bob Hoon character still lurking in the wings in the latest book. I found myself frequently laughing out loud on my early morning dog walks. Looking forward to the next book

Excellent

Angus King's full-bodied narration is so well suited to the story and characters. The larger than life personalities, the humour and plot twists are highly enjoyable. I have recently discovered JD Kirk and am looking forward to more treats ahead on Audible.
